Let’s normalize practicing to the top of our formal education and training, not of our license.

The suicide of the West right here in America.

What a destructive immigration policy this country has indulged in (to the detriment of Americans) for a generation.

🌠Big win for truth in advertising: Big win for patients!

A California U.S. District Court upheld as constitutional CA’s longstanding law that limits use of the term “doctor” and prefix “Dr.” to a person who is a California-licensed allopathic or osteopathic physician. 🧵

@anish_koka Speaking of nurse only hospitals, I am reminded of this gem of a post:

MS patients win 👏👏

Education plays a critical role in patient safety; stark difference physicians - APRNs.

Gaps in NP education & training put patients at risk.

Costs rise when NPs are unsupervised.

Scope expansion doesn’t increase access to care. https://t.co/mSJWZ2MSPX

@EmanuelsonKen @AndySedlemeyer @wesvirdelltx Nurses with OJT and an 18-online degree can practice medicine independently of doctors in the majority of states. It’s scary AF.

[DrStrange @DocStrange_1]

@ParlayKingLG @Cayde422 @NemaniSonia LOL, a nurse practitioner, with an online crackerjack box degree and 500 hours of shadowing experience wants to compare themselves to an actual doctor. GTFO.

Hey @elonmusk

The UK Government has insidiously been lowering medical standards for years

Many extremely avoidable deaths as a result of substitution of fully qualified doctors with quacks who have done a 2 year crash course

It’s almost unbelievable, but it’s the next huge scandal to come out

@DrPaulyDeSantis @AaronGoodman33 To deal with a problem midlevels themselves created?

[Adam Bruggeman, MD @DrBruggeman]

Today I rounded in the hospital on my patients and saw many physicians wandering around away from their family along with dedicated nurses, security, sanitation team, and others. One doctor had a list of 5 hospitals as he checked off patients. Healthcare is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job. Many physicians don’t take time off. Thank you to our dedicated healthcare professionals and those who support us!

2nd in series “documenting how the increasing reliance on ill-trained nurse practitioners is imperiling US patients.”

“…NP instruction isn’t standardized, & the clinical hours…already a fraction of those completed by physicians—are largely unregulated.” https://t.co/mfnfZxtFRZ

[DrStrange @DocStrange_1]

@Brixwoof @shitp0sterMD @jbcarmody There’s no such thing as a rigorous NP program; the two are antithetical. Also, years of bedside nursing does not translate to medical practice; nursing is not preparation for being a nurse practitioner.

[DrStrange @DocStrange_1]

@lovseniors What’s a properly trained NP?
